Remembering a Taunt.
From the Houston Post.

Boston Letter in the Providence Journal
One of the stories of the sort which
formed the staple of subject for a school lit
erature now pretty well gone out of fashion,
is told concerning the Quincy House and its
late proprietor, Mr.. j. w. johnson. 1t is
related by those sometimes entertaining and
anon prolix gossips who know all the old
stories which deal with their neighboIs, that
once Mr.. johnson, then farmer up the
country, came to Boston to sell a load of po-
tatoes. Such was his ill-luck, however, or
the dullness of the market, that at the close
of his marketing he found himself without
ready money enough to pay his score at the
Quincy House where he had taken ROOM
There was talk of retaining the farmers
horses in pledge for his bill, but johnson,
who was powerful man, went himself to
the stables and harnessed his team, no man
daring to interfere with him except by
words. The matter terminated for the time
being in the regulation manner of the old
comedies. The farmer departed in fine
rage, pursued by the taunts of the employees
of the house, which he answered with vow
TO own the whole establishment before he
died.
From that day his one ambition seemed to
be TO fulfill his boast, and TO this end he
labored and saved until-still in the old
fashioned comedy fashion-events had been
shaped to his will, and his pluck and persis-
tence were rewarded by the actual pos
session of the Quincy House, from whose
door he had once been ANONYMOUSLY driven
because he could not pay his bill

The Turf.

New YORK, June 18.-Everything
seems to be at sea about the great
Suburban race to-day at sheepshead
Bay. Even Jockeys cannot say wN--h
horses they will ride. Rupert,
fast horse, is the latest tip, and Rio
mond, Hidalgo come in for equa!
standing. Mclaughlin is expected to
ride IN spite of his injury of Thursday,
and so is Snapper Garrison. Rumor
has 1t that Ike Murphy will ride
Hidalgo, and that eastern jocks" do
not like him, and will press TO the rail
or best him in the send off Mclaughlin
Murphy, Fitzpatrick, McCarty and
Hamilton, are ranked as tavorites, and
they will show up best with the betting
public. If the Suburban is won by a
jockey of the second or third class, it
will be, indeed, a surprise. Fremont
and Hanover are left out in the count.
1t Is very likely that no more than
dozen horses will start in the race.
There is every indication that the at
tendance at Sheepshead Bay track will
be the greatest on record. The opinion
is unanimous among the best Judge
the Suburban lies between Richmond
and Quits. Ben Dryer, trainer of Rich
mond, feels confident of winning. The
heavy track, however, favors Quits
more than any other horse. GrimaldI's
France is well thought OF in the going.
Betting will open with Richmond as
favorite, at about. to l, with Quits
second choice at to L.

Another Train Robbery.

GALVESTON, June 18.-A report has
just reached here that the east-bound
California express on the Southern
Pacific Railroad was robbed at 8 am,
near Flatonia, about ninety-five miles
east of San Antonio. The express car
was robbed and nobody killed. 1t is
rumored that the robbers secured $75,-
600.
AS the train drew up at the station
two men with drawn revolvers mounted
the engine, covered the engineer and
forced him to pull the train to the
open prairie, where there were eight or
ten men armed with Winchester rifles.
The two robbers on the engine, stood
guard over the man at the throttle
while the others went through
the mail, express and passenger cars.
Nearly all the passengers We're asleep
and unaware of what was going on I'M
til they were aroused by the robbers.
All the passengers were relieved of their
Valuables and it is difficult to form any
estimate of the amount of money and
jewelry secured. 1t is reckoned at about
S., 600. The express car and mail
pouches were also gone through, but
the amount of money taken is IN
known. The total amount secured is
now placed at $4,000. The whole
country is aroused. Several posses
have gone in search of the robbers.
